Historic Inventions

Anna took the playing-card from her husbands hand. It represented a figure that was known as the Knave of Bells. Its an unsightly creature, she said, studying it, and not to be compared with our picture of good St. Christopher on the wall yonder. Surely that was made with a pen? John leaned forward, his keen face showing unusual interest. The forty pictures in it were made by pressing engraved blocks of wood on paper, just like the St. Christopher, or this playing-card. The lines are all brown, and the pictures are placed opposite each other, with their blank backs pasted together, so they form one strong leaf. They are ten inches high and seven or eight inches wide, and each is made up of three small pictures, separated by lines. More than that, there are four half-length figures of prophets, two above and two below the larger pictures. Then there are Latin legends and rhymes at the bottom of each page. Assuredly I am. Dost thou see, Anna, how much better these blocks are than the slower way of copying by hand? When theyre once cut many books can be printed as easily as one. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
